A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

If you're looking for an ad-free client that still works right now; In the 6 years I've been using YouTube (re)vanced on android, I've only had it fail to play videos for 1 single day around 6 months ago. That was fixed within 24hrs.
Not quite the same as a full custom instance/frontend like piped; but it'll do the job while you wait for updates.
That's not really privacy friendly, right? I don't exactly know how it patches the apk and what it changes but it doesn't remove trackers. Correct me if I'm wrong
Ah, I should have double checked the community.... Got here from /all.
No, it's not explicitly privacy friendly. It's mainly focused on a wide variety of optional UX changes, returning several paywalled features like PIP/Background playback, and removing advertising as well as providing sponsor block.
